Home Scouts Class (May 19) Stewarding home, body, ecologies, culture, + gardens
Stewarding home, body, ecologies, culture, + gardens
@ Cherry Creek Falls Event Center
16533 Kelly Rd NE, Duvall, WA 98019
with special guest teacher Katie Vincent from The Tending Alive project
In this class, dive into the full spectrum of STEWARDSHIP! We’re going to warm up our bodies, minds, gardening hands, and taste buds! We’ll get hands-on for a full workshop with two herbalists Sarah and Katie! We’ll have fun with movement games, enjoy a guided plant walk and open discussion on the principles of ecological design that overlay the symbiotic relationship between diverse beings in a habitat.
After we have the honor of planting the FIRST edible garden at the Cherry Creek Falls Event Center (right across the street from the Cherry Falls Trailhead!) - with a lesson in polyculture planting and tending with horticulturist Katie Vincent - we’ll head into the commercial kitchen for a group cooking demo to get crazy with nettles! Bring foraged treats to add to the nettle party if you’d like…
What is a nettle party? I’m so glad you asked ;) We’ll experience Stinging Nettle (a nutritious wild food and medicine) in as many ways and forms as we can: tea, infusion, sautéed, fried, dessert, and even topically! Come explore a variety of food/medicine preparations with nettles and more…
We’re going to play games, share stories, and taste plants! In this class we’ll explore tending the cycles of life - including the life of animals, cultures, gardens, and communities. How can we steward our families in healthy relationship to the land? How does biodiversity play a role in healthy community and gardens? How does stewarding the local ecology help future generations? Why does tending important relationships have such a ripple effect? How can stewarding gardens help steward the soul? Let’s dive into the fun, beauty, and hardships of stewardship!
Bring with you:
Optional blanket to sit on outside (chairs provided indoors)
Water bottle and/or tea cup for tasting
Foraged edible plants to share or other treats for the nettle party!
Optional paper/pen for notetaking
Optional plants or seeds to swap
Katie’s Bio:
I am a plant and ecology nerd. A longtime gardener, farmer, herbalist, horticulturalist and teacher. I use they/she pronouns.
I offer ecological garden consultations, coaching, classes and more in the Pacific Northwest.
I've worked with plants for over 17 years, with a special focus on medicinal and edible plants. I was the lead steward of Bastyr University's gardens & Sacred Seeds Ethnobotanical Trail for 4 years. I've taught for the University of Washington, Bastyr University, Tilth Alliance, and more. I know my stuff, and am forever a student.
We live in an extraordinary time of climate and cultural upheaval. More than ever, the earth needs all the "green thumbs" it can get. We need people who can identify plants, grow food & medicine and create flourishing ecosystems. We need you.
I marry my offerings with a background in rites of passage ceremony and trauma-informed facilitation. Gardening is a therapeutic act, enhancing our personal healing and major life thresholds. We heal through growing in relationship with something bigger than us. The earth heals through us.
I am here to water your "thumb of death" til it sprouts into bloom.
We need your thumb, no matter the shade.
Join me and become a greening thumb in the Tending Alive project!
